MLP-Laboratories clone has appeared? · 2:46pm Jul 25th, 2012
Greetings one and all,
I have just stumbled upon this: http://davca.deviantart.com/#/d57m64p. At first glance, the premise looks a lot like the one of my 'Laboratories'. We'll see how similar it actually is. It looks really cool so far. When I wrote my 'Laboratories', it was because I wanted to see this idea explored, and since no one was doing it, I had to do it myself. Had this been made a year earlier I might not have written 'MLP Laboratories' at all.
Here's the thing, though. Call me a self-righetous prick but I'm going to watch this one really closely.
1-If it's very similar to mine, I'll be like 'Congratulations, you started with the same idea but made more of it than I did. Good for you, good for the community'.
2-If the similarities start getting suspicious, I might ask him whether he has ever read my fic by any chance. He'll say no, and I will believe him.
3-If the similarities are getting too much to bear and he still insists he doesn't know me and won't reference me in any way, I will get pissed. And then I might get really, really childish. You see, I wouldn't mind anyone doing better than me or actually copying my ideas and build on them, but if that's the case, they really shouldn't hog the credit.
We'll see. Until then, watch his show, it looks quite promising.
I don't think you have much to worry about. It seems to be going with an out and out crossover with Portal, rather than just referencing it like you did. Still, looks pretty good so far!
Well, it looks like we're never going to see any more of it. The account it was posted on was deactivated. It's a real shame, because I wanted to see where they went with it...
695236 Yeah. That would have been cool. I know my little bitching couldn't have had any impact on that, but somehow I still wonder if I should feel guilty
710471 I don't think so. Apparently, the photo edits that guy was doing were against DA's upload policy, since he didn't have the permission of the original creators. Which is a shame, because I thought those were pretty cool too.
